Viparspectra setting 25gallons cube

[Clown2Fish]

I recently got an viparSpectra light for a great deal on Marketplace. It’s in excellent condition, super bright, and working perfectly. I know this light can be pretty powerful for a 25-gallon cube (18” tall), so I’ll be using a PAR meter to fine-tune the intensity.

I’ll also be doing a slow light acclimation for the corals


That said, I was wondering if anyone here has experience running this light on a 25-gallon cube or a similar-sized tank. If so:

What settings (intensity, schedule) are you using?

Even on a 40-55g, I usually start it at 3 & 30 and then dial in from there. Also, remember that the intensity of the lighting is more about the depth of the water then the size of the tank.
